The Thunderbolt



I loved you the instant I first saw you
so beautiful there in the crowd
As the thunderbolt mightily struck me
I'm surprised I didn't scream right out loud

I saw you kinda watching me
when you thought that I didn't see
Your beautiful eyes...they were looking
softly and lovingly at me

The thunderbolt performed its task well
and reduced me to quivering mush
All the words I attempted
poured from my mouth like slush

The Indians...they all know of
the great mystery of the bolt
and how it awakens fresh love
by giving it a thundering jolt

Now you may say that's all folklore
but I'm here to tell you, my friend
the love kindled by that thunderbolt
That love will never end
